Filing EB-2 while on EB-3

Ok here's summary of my case:

Bachelor degree in Civil Engineering with over 11 years of professional experience (6 years previous employers + 5 years with my current employer)-
I-140 approved EB-3 category priority date 10/7/08

My current company’s lawyer initially told that I will be eligible to apply for EB-2 but he filed an EB-3. He didn’t provide sound reasons but explained that he leant towards EB-3 for higher chances of success (?).

Filing for green card is current for EB-2 category under my citizenship quota. One of my colleagues advised me to file another I-140 EB2 category and take the chances. If it gets approved then I can file I-485 current for my quota category, and if it gets denied then it won’t harm my original I-140 approval or PD.

Am I getting good advice? Is there any risks?

I am in the same situation. I have a approved I-140 and have to want couple of years to file for I-485 until my priority date gets current
So I we are planing to submit a new case under EB2. Please let me know if you hear any good advice
